G.G. Marquez's"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" Quick Notes

Pelayo and Elisenda find a angel(old man w/ enormous wings) when their child has a fever. The child recovers and his parents keep the chicken coop until the child, who was a baby starts school. The angel is an attraction for awhile and then not.  Then, the coop falls down and the angel lives in house for awhile. The angel is a nuisance in the house, becomes sick and Pelayo and Elisenda give him a blanket and fear he's dying, and when he's better he flies away. Pelayo and Elisenda are happy to see him go.
